Nordic groups form buying pool

(18-Mar-2003) - SAS Trading, SAS Flightshop, Spanair and Braathens have created a joint purchasing group for their airport and airline retail operations

(2-Mar-2002) - SCANDINAVIA. Operator Inflight Service is focusing on its core airline and ferry business following the loss of its Swedish airport contracts to The Nuance Group. The company has extended its purchasing agreements with airlines Premiair and Braathens and is set to strengthen its presence in the Nordic ferry market, purchasing director Johan Kullander told DFNI.

(1-Jun-2005) - SCANDINAVIA. SAS Flightshop has adapted its duty-free retail assortment in a bid to differentiate its offer to long- and short-haul passengers

(18-Dec-2006) - SWEDEN. The loss of the Tallink/Silja duty-free purchasing contract will have a significant impact on Swedish retailer and distributor Inflight Service’s buying pool, but will not greatly affect its profitability, the company has claimed

(15-Jan-2008) - After a turbulent year for the ferry side of its purchasing pool, Inflight Service has achieved solid growth by focusing on its core business supplying to regional airlines. And recent moves should guarantee that the market will grow further, writes Gavin Lipsith
